Received 23rd October 2007:
I want to thank all who participated in our internet correspondence this past weekend. The scouts enjoyed it immensely!! They had so many questions and comments, I could not type fast enough. We only had the one computer and phone line, which made it difficult. That phone line went out completely, which is why all replies ended. I will be sending pictures shortly. The weekend was wonderful and all the scouts had a great time. Don't be surprised to see some more comments in your Guestbook from other troops in Mississippi!! They all wanted your website address. See ya'll in November!!!!
Recieved 11th OCtober 2007:
Hello 62nd, Hope everyone is doing well. We are gearing up for our long anticipated Brownsea Reenactment weekend, October 19-21. I am setting up some e-mail addresses to correspond as JOTI is the same weekend. We will be dressing, sleeping, eating and learning as they did 100 years ago on Brownsea. My husband, son and I are looking forward to meeting everyone when we come and visit next month!!! A package is winging it's way across the Atlantic with some "stuff" for 62nd. Hope you like!!!LOL More later, your friends in the US.

From the Guestbook:
"Hi 62nd!!! I know it has been awhile since I have written. A lot going on over here and I am sure the excitement of Centenary is tremendous!! Wish I could be there!!! We will be having our own Scouting's Sunrise event here in Mississippi, USA. I will send pictures. We are hoping to have it Webcast. My family and I are looking forward to our visit with ya'll in November. More later!!!!"

Update May 2006:
"Hello from across the Atlantic!! It has been a while since I had a chance to browse your website. Congratulations on your International Cooking win! Looks like you have been very busy. Troop 20 has been very busy also. We recently had our Council Scout Show where the troop did some demos on Wilderness Survival. Lots of fun!! I will send some pictures soon. I will be giving out the letters I have received at our next Troop meeting on Monday. More letters would be greatly appreciated, as I would not want to exclude any of our scouts. We are reviewing our Emergency Prep procedures because of the upcoming Hurricane season which is predicted to be a very active one. I ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers during this time. If you have any questions for me, I would be happy to answer them to the best of my ability. So long for now, Karen"
